He carried a reward of ₹7 lakh on his arrest, and was wanted in nearly 40 cases of dacoity, robbery, extortion and attempt to murder. A total of 15 of these cases were registered in Delhi, and the rest in Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan. “Interrogation of Jatheri and his female partner has revealed that they were working on ways to control these businesses in Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab either through intimidation or by securing consent of the key players of the businesses... The two disclosed the names of their gang members and their business partners, who may be asked to join the investigation,” said another special cell officer, requesting not to be named. “Jatheri is not directly involved in drug dealing but the money sent is remuneration for their assistance to his gang from abroad,” added the second officer.
